The relationship between artificial intelligence and data mining: application to future military information systems

This paper describes the relationship between data mining (DM) and artificial intelligence (AI) and how both can improve future military information systems. As these information systems take advantage of the technology trends, they will derive their upgrades from expert systems, knowledge-bases (KBs), inference engines, robotics, natural language, remote sensing, knowledge discovery (KD), and data mining over networks. This will result in an expansion to all echelons of present capabilities that now are available to warfighters only at the higher echelons. Moreover, it will result in an improved battlefield awareness for all warfighters beyond anything that is implemented today
